A Little Love is All You Need...

My first "craft o' the day" to share is VERY simple and right on schedule for Valentine's Day.  It's easy to make but still makes you feel all warm & fuzzy ;)  I call it the Scalloped Heart Garland:

As you can see, I've lovingly strewn (is that a word?) the garland over our dining room chandalier :)  Here's what you need:

1.  Colored construction paper (I used red, pink, and white).

2.  A scalloped heart paper cutter (or any other heart-shaped paper cutter) which you can find at any craft store.  

3.  Colorful baker's string or ribbon (I used red-striped baker's string).

4.  A small hole punch.

How to make it:

1.  Punch out equal number of colored hearts (depending on how long you want the garland to be).  I made about 6 hearts of each color.

2.  Punch small hole in the top middle of each heart.

3.  String hearts in whatever pattern you like onto baker's string until you have the length that you need.

4.  Leaving ends of string free, hand the garland around or across whatever you want (chandalier, entryway, mantle, etc.).  Either tie ends together or afix ends to whereever you are hanging the garland.

That's it!  This is a good craft to do with the kiddies :)
